ADRENAL BURNOUT: If you have this, don't do cleanse!

A couple weeks ago, I attempted to do the cleanse. I got 6 days into it and felt nothing but horrible the whole time.

Well, last week I went to a naturopathic doctor for the first time in years. He told me that I have "adrenal burnout".

So I've been doing a bit of research about adrenal burnout and here's something I found:

"The accumulation of toxins that occurs as the body can no longer remove them properly contributes to burnout. Exposure to toxic metals or chemicals can be an important factor in burnout. Eliminating them is helpful.

However, energy is required to release toxins. If the energy system is weak, just fasting or detoxifying will not be enough. One must rebuild the entire energy system by balancing body chemistry and providing nutrients as well. A one-month or even six-month cleanse is nowhere near adequate. It can take a year just to replenish one mineral. For those in burnout, extreme detoxification programs such as fasting, raw foods or even chelating agents can be dangerous. This is because the body lacks the vitality to properly eliminate toxins, the eliminative organs are compromised and toxins may be redistributed in vital organs. A gentle, complete program of rebuilding and nourishing the body must accompany any efforts to eliminate toxins. In fact, as vitality improves, toxin elimination will proceed on its own."
